1997-09-20- add 'stty [baudrate]' command to /boot, for serial consolesflipk
- switch baud rates using i/o instead of bios, since bios commands have only a limited bitwidth for baudrate, and max out at 9600 - when switching console devices, print msg to both old device and new - fix timeout bug in com_getc() (dev | 0x80 was reading gobbledygook) - document 'stty' command in boot(8) - wording and cleanup in man pages

1997-03-31commit all my mods to the last imported libsa stuff....Michael Shalayeff
including: - disklabel support; - better boot cmd line - smaller size (using some compilation switches ;) - no more relocations in /boot, it's loaded in the place; - better disk performance (maybe were already in there) - installboot -n does not require write perms for device - more debugs - missing parts in libsa (such as cd9660 and so) - i don't like 2 files for exec_i386 (sorry, toby, let's discuss maybe?) tricks and tails: - joined .text and .data (saves you a page) - prot mode switching still in biosboot (it's freezed for awhile) - biosdisk internals changed - biosdev is not passed propery to the kernel (i'll fix it soon) - sure i missed smth here to note (use the source, Luke!)
